these specifications. The mortar shall be mixed in batches. The amount of
cement and sand entering into each batch shall be measured by weight. The
quantity of mixing water entering into each batch shall be measured
automatically by an adjustable device, or it shall be otherwise measured to
ensure that the correct quantity of water is being added.
5.1.7 Washing and Finish:

shall be increased to produce a mortar lining with a uniformly smooth, firm
surface. Immediately after lining, the surface of the lining shall be washed
with water to remove excess laitance.
